30:17 Iliso eligculela uyise, Lidele ukumlulamela unina, Aya kulikrukra amahlungulu asemlanjeni, Alidle amathole exhalanga.
30:18 Izinto zintathu ezibalulekileyo kum; Hayi, zine endingenakuzazi:
30:19 Yindlela yexhalanga esibhakabhakeni, Yindlela yenyoka etyeni, Yindlela yenqanawa esazulwini solwandle, Yindlela yomfo nentombi.
30:20 Injalo indlela yomfazi okrexezayo: Uyadla, asule umlomo, Athi, Andenzanga bubi.
30:21 Ngaphantsi kwezinto ezintathu umhlaba uyanyikima, Ngaphantsi kwezine ukhohliwe kukuthwala:
30:22 Ngaphantsi kwesicaka, xa sithe sangukumkani; Nesidenge, xa sithe sahlutha sisonka;
30:23 Ngaphantsi kwesigele sentombi, xa sithe senda; Nesicakakazi xa sithe sadla ilifa lenkosikazi yaso.
30:24 Izinto zine ezincinane emhlabeni, Kanti zilumke kakhulu:
30:25 Iimbovane ngabantu abangenamandla Kanti zilungisa ukudla kwazo ehlotyeni;
30:26 Iimbila ngabantu abangomeleleyo, Kanti zimisa izindlu zazo emaweni;
30:27 Iinkumbi azinakumkani, Kanti ziphuma zingamaqela ngamaqela zonke;
30:28 Icilitshe unako ukulibamba ngezandla, Kanti lisemabhotweni ookumkani.
30:29 Izinto zintathu ezihamba ngokunyalasa, Hayi, zine ezilungisayo ukuhamba:
30:30 Yingonyama, igorha phakathi kwezinto ezizitho zine, Elingabuyi umva phambi kweento zonke;
30:31 Yinja elingesi nokuba yinkunzi yebhokhwe; Ngukumkani enomkhosi wakhe.
30:32 Ukuba uthe wenza ngobudenge ngokuziphakamisa, Nokuba uthe wankqangiyela, Beka isandla emlonyeni.
30:33 Kuba ukucofa ubisi kuvelisa amasi, Ukucofa impumlo kuvelisa igazi, Ukucofa umsindo kuvelisa imbambano.
